Correction, that should be Gordon's observation, not Thomas'. I'm sure a lot of people called Thomas have observed a lot of important things, but this isn't one of them.
Hehe yes I realised that mistake shortly after posting it. I did mean Gordon Moore, who seems to be a pretty together sort of guy. That doesn't stop industry folks making wild extrapolations based on his predictions, and often downright misquoting him.
Thank you for offering a bit of sanity to the whole Moore's Law (Peace Be Upon It) dogma.
Some people seem to think that Thomas' observation is some kind of fundamental law of physics that will always be obeyed, like gravity or thermodynamics.
I honestly don't remember the last time I pirated any software. I suppose running Linux since 2001 helps. I can't exactly say I've been FOSS-only since I still use Adobe Flash and the proprietary nVidia graphics drivers, but in general if I can't apt-get, yum, untar or most importantly/share/ it, I won't take it.
Some software such as libdvdcss has dodgy legal status thanks to arcane laws, but that's definitely not pirated software by any definition.
I am genuinely curious about this - assuming both you and kklein are US citizens, how is it that at least one of you manages to get a basic aspect of US Tax Law completely wrong?
Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to make anyone look foolish, but I'm wondering where such misinformation could have originated, and why people seem to propagate it.
Of course I think any economy that taxes the prize/recipient/ is absolutely batshit retarded, but perhaps I've been spoiled in that regard.
fail2ban is great, but this attack looks designed to sneak around it. Since this is a distributed attack, the offending script has hundreds of IP addresses at its disposal, and has each IP attack each server a small number of times (usually twice, often once, rarely thrice).
Fail2ban is designed to scan for repeated attacks from a single IP.
I second the PermitRootLogin no >>/etc/ssh/sshd_config advice from the above posts.
PermitRootLogin no - Correct PubkeyAuthentication yes - Not so much
Public keys are great for trusted intranets and all, but for external access they're not such a good idea. If someone compromises your workstation they're automatically authenticated on the outward-facing server.

Is it finally October 1, 1993?
(Dammit, why can I never refer to that phenomenon without mentally rendering a certain Green Day song?)
Spot the odd one out.
That's right, folks. Only one of the above doesn't require lock-in to a single vendor nor depend on a silly "cloud" for storing correspondence.
Wow. Jaded much?
Honestly, how does nihilistic BS like this get modded up?

So why should you deserve a label, while others don't?

Dude, they *&%#@ing walked on the mother^@*$ing moon.
Is it a clear night in your timezone? Go look out your window at that big white thing in the sky. Some blokes went and *!#$ing walked on that.
What more benefits to we need than that?
What, she loses the ability to check her unemployment?
Oh, upon reading TFS I see they mean she lost her unemployment cheque.
Stupid cultures different from mine.
I think you mean light, fluffy keychains.
Look, it's very simple. If you put your data on someone elses server then no matter what they promise you, that data is no longer yours. Period.
I'm curious. What exactly do you think is preventing someone from making a competing product just as good right now?
And if they did take over the industry, how long do you think it would be before they went down the same path of onerous licensing?
I wonder what their sample demographic was.

I presume that's so they can't see how shallow you are?
You should have gotten a +5 for that. Or a dry-cleaning bill at least.
Isn't it obvious?
More slaves, to work the farms.
Just like XML and violence, if it doesn't solve your problem, just add some more!
...but I would say it's fulfilling its purpose very well - pushing DRM to the masses.
And people even here seem more than happy to swallow it up.
I believe that would be a type of animatic.
So... your friends Xbox media centre is awesome, but your HTPC is ... better?

Uhm, do you mean like a Plasma display?
Wait, are we allowed to use the word 'stealing' in this context again?

Well maybe not *that* problem.
